Equip your vessel with the precision-engineered 4-foot open array antenna designed for Garmin's xHD2 radar series. This component transforms your radar system into a powerhouse for navigating challenging waters, spotting distant targets, and even locating bird flocks that signal prime fishing spots. Mariners trust its narrow beam for crystal-clear imaging, making it ideal for both recreational boating and serious offshore adventures.

Precision Beam and Target Clarity

The standout 1.8-degree horizontal beamwidth delivers exceptional target separation and positioning. Whether you're dodging obstacles in congested harbors or scanning horizons for vessels, this antenna provides reliable, high-resolution returns that help you make informed decisions on the water. Its advanced design minimizes clutter, ensuring you see what matters most without false echoes cluttering your screen.

Key Features and Benefits

• Auto Bird Gain: Automatically adjusts sensitivity to highlight birds skimming the surface, giving anglers an edge in finding baitfish concentrations.
• Dual Range Capability: Simultaneously monitor short-range details like nearby buoys and long-range threats, perfect for dynamic marine environments.
• IPX7 Waterproof Rating: Built to withstand harsh saltwater conditions, ensuring dependable performance through rain, spray, and waves.
• High Wind Resistance: Operates steadily up to 80 knots, maintaining accuracy even in stormy seas.
• Dual Radar Support: Enables redundancy across multiple displays, so every station on board accesses the best radar data.

Seamless Integration for xHD2 Systems

Engineered exclusively for Garmin's GMR 424 xHD2, 624 xHD2, 1224 xHD2, and 2524 xHD2 pedestals, this open array pairs effortlessly to elevate your setup. The result? Consistent performance with enhanced rotation speed for real-time updates, helping you stay ahead of weather shifts or traffic. Boaters report sharper images and quicker target acquisition compared to traditional radars, thanks to xHD2 pulse compression technology that punches through rain and fog.

Rugged Build for Demanding Conditions

Crafted with marine-grade materials, this antenna endures the rigors of open-water use. Its open-array design promotes efficient airflow for cooling during extended operation, while the compact 4-foot length balances power with easier mounting on mid-sized boats. Expect fewer maintenance headaches and longer service life, even after seasons of heavy exposure to UV, salt, and moisture.
